DIR. PENTEcosT's work in Montpelier will
close tonight and the evangelist will leave
by the midnight train to join his family in
New Jersey. Through him good work has
been wrought for this place and the in
| huence which he eXerted will long be felt.
| The exact number of resulting conversions
is not known, but is probably in excess of
one hundred, and more will undoubtedly
follow. Through Miss Tysons efforts many
children have been led to give their hearts
to the Savior. Her work will be continued
by weekly children's meetings under the
care of Mrs. S. S. Ballard, in whom the little
folks will find loving teacher. Mr.. Steb-
bins, who has added to the interest of the
meetings during the week past by his sing
ing of many delightful gospel hymns, went
home yesterday morning.
THE audiences at the entertainments by
the Alpine Choir and Tyrolese Company,
on Saturday last, were very small and
nothing will be added to the treasury OF
Company II by the enterprise, although it
is believed that the Guard will not come
out behind, since several had purchased
tickets who were not so fortunate as to hear
either concert. Those who were present
attended one of the most novel and pleasing
entertainments given at the capital for
many day. The voices We're remarkably
fresh and pleasing, the yodeling was heard
at its greatest perfection and the perform
ances upon the xylophone, mandolin, guitar,
either and alpine viola were really fine.
Much was added to the general effect by
the attractive costumes worn by the mem
bers of the company. 1t was withal rare
treat and merited packed house.
MEMORIAL DAY will have about the usual
observance in Montpelier. A memorial ser.
mon will be preached at the Baptist church
